Choose a concept, theme or idea from this unit's lessons as a group. Think about which would be the most beneficial for other students (your intended audience).

An introduction to your podcast, including:

Introduction to this podcast (what is this podcast about for first time listeners)
Introduction of cast (who is speaking, where you are)
A conclusion inviting your audience to listen to future podcasts.
Create: Record your podcast:
Make sure that you are in a quiet place – you don’t want background noise included
in your recording. To start your recording, Open Garage Band \ Audacity \ , choose “Create New
Podcast Episode” and make sure to save to the Desktop (not your server folder).
Make sure that your voices are clear and loud – watch the audio leveler to verify that
your voice can be heard. Choose male or female voice when recording.
Make sure everyone has a chance to speak.
When you’re finished listen to your recording all the way through to make sure it
sounds good and that you’ve included everything on your checklist.
Once your recording is entirely finished AND you have time, add the intro and outro
music.
Export your podcast to the Desktop (Share, Export Song to Disk, save with your
names).
Finish: Publicize on your blog(s):
Write a short post announcing your podcast with a picture and embedded media if possible.
